Great Attorney Advocate for the truth

My case was difficult and involved varying degrees of interpretation and incorrect legal codes, which carried the potential to stifle professional and educational growth. Although, I did not always remain composed and collected, Marie remained positive and determined to produce a successful outcome. ...It was a blessing to have such a knowledgeable and determined attorney, who garnered a winning outcome for this case. I would definitely recommend Marie and her staff (very professional) to anyone reading this post.

Competent, Hardworking and Honest

If you are looking for a very competent, hardworking and honest lawyer you need Marie by your side. From business and civil litigation to family law and estate planning. Most recently Marie assisted me with putting the best plan in place for myself and my family. Losing a parent a vital player to ...my family plan, many changes needed to occur. Marie was able to assist with this documentation and make recommendations that work for the remainder of my life and the life of my children. Although I already had in place most of the documentation needed, one life event can change everything. As an individual looked upon as the center of the universe by my family members, I needed to insure that if anything happened to me not only my wishes were delivered, but the wishes of those passed. Not to mention that the minor family members would be taken care of as well. During times of change you as an individual may be clouded by emotion, but having Marie by your side rest assured that your legal matters will be met.

A wonderful lawyer!

Ms. Washington prepares well for cases. She explains things to her client, in a manner, which they can understand, what is going on. And, is a very polite person, throughout. I would not hesitate to contact her for legal representation, in the future, should the need arise.

Reckless Driving Charge: Not Guilty with the help of Ms. Marie Washington

I hired Ms. Washington after I received a reckless driving ticket. I was involved in an accident on October 14, 2013. I was hit by a tractor trailer. The driver said he did not run the lght. I was taken to the hospital after sustaining a compound fracture of my right femur, broken ribs, a laceration ...on my forehead, a major concussion, multiple bruises, and a hemotoma on my right forearm. I spent several days in the hospital. The state trooper finally met with me about four weeks later. He said the assistant commonwealth attorney told him to charge me with reckless driving since I had no memory of the accident. At that time, I was given a referral to Ms. Washington. My husband and I interviewed her and hired her to defend me. She met with me prior to my first court date. She communicated with the assistant commonwealth, trying to get her to at least reduce the charge to improper driving. The assistant commonwealth attorney refused so she advised me to go to trial. Ms. Washington met with me again prior to the trial date. At trial, the truck driver failed to show. At that time, Ms. Washington advised me not to testify. I took her advice. After all testimony was given, the judge talked about his familiarity with the intersection. Then he gave his ruling and found me not guilty. I feel that Ms. Washington did an excellent job defending me against this charge. She was professional, gave me good advice, and did her homework. She was really well prepared and one could tell she really cared about me as a client.
